Comparing the two, I’d say the G2 offers a quieter ride than the Duratrac. The Duratrac is more aggressive but can be a bit more jarring on highways. If comfort is key, G2 is the way to go.
That’s a strong recommendation! Do you guys think the higher price is justified based on these experiences?
While I believe the price is on the higher side, the comfort and performance on various terrains have made it worth the investment for me. I can’t imagine going back to lesser tires now.
I recently switched to the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in 295/60R20, and I have to say, the tread life has been impressive so far. I have about 15,000 miles on them, and they still look new. Perfect for both on and off-road!
That’s great to hear! I’ve read that these tires have a long tread life, but do you drive primarily on highways or off-road?
I mostly drive on highways, but I do take them off-road occasionally. Maintenance is key! Regular rotations and keeping them properly inflated can really help with longevity.
Absolutely! I’ve also found that checking alignment made a big difference in how evenly they wear. Have you noticed any specific wear patterns?
There’s a slight uneven wear on the edges, but that’s likely due to my driving style. I tend to corner a bit aggressively! Any tips for mitigating that?
I would recommend keeping an eye on your tire pressure and possibly adjusting your alignment. It can really help to extend your tread life, especially under aggressive driving.
Great advice! I’m surprised more people don’t consider alignment when discussing tread life. It can really impact longevity.
I’ve had a different experience. My G2s wore out faster than expected. I drive mostly on-road but tend to carry heavy loads. Wonder if that’s affecting them?
It’s very likely, hallamy. Heavy loads can definitely take a toll on tires. What mileage are you seeing now?
I’m at about 25,000 miles, and they’ve dropped to about 4/32 tread. Maybe it’s time for a rotation? I guess I need to adjust my maintenance routine.
A rotation might help! Also, make sure you’re not overloading them and check your tire pressure regularly. It makes a huge difference!
